3. 2025 InDesign (v20.0) Frequent Crashing on MacOS 15.0.1 Sequoia

   Ever since the 2025 version of InDesign released earlier this month, I have had constant crashing issues while working on multiple files. I have been using MacOS 15 Sequoia since it released in September. At first it seemed to crash at random every 5-30 minutes while going between open indd tabs. I think I can more consistently trigger it now by trying to open/navigate around a .indt file. I have a screen recording attached of me clicking around with a 2025 .indt file, a 2025 .indd file, and a 2024 .indd file. Within this minute long recording, InDesign crashes twice, both times when going between/opening the .indt file to the regular 2025 .indd file.

5. [ID-4257697] InDesign 2025 Won't Lock "Constrain Proportions"

   When creating a frame, rectangle, any object, or selecting any other object, InDesign 2025 will not keep Constrain Proportions locked when the lock icon is clicked on the control bar.

   The user now has to click it while they select each object and want to scale an object by scaling either the width or height.

   I didn't notice this at first, but found out from a Reddit post.

8. InDesign 2025 does not import settings from 2024 correctly

   InDesign CC 2025 does not import Keyboard Shortcuts nor Workspaces. I had to install them manually. The new “Export setting” or “Import settings” features are obviously useless (as expected).

12. do script bug in indesign 2025?

    I have a script (extend script) file that has worked flawlessly in every version of InDesign for the last 15 years or so. Bercause it is used in semi-automated workflow I trigger it from an AppleScript, using the "do script" command.

    InDesign 2025 suddenly incorrectly reports a syntax error "expecting ;"

    The javascript that gets called works as expected, without warnings when run from the script panel.

    This is highly problematic for me, since triggering the script from applescript is an essential part of my workflow.

    Adobe are welcome to contact me for more information

    Need More Info  ·  Adminansjain (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    We would require more information on this.

    Is this happening with all files or some specific files?

    Are only page numbers getting relocated or other elements as well?

    Is this happening with only parent page objects or with objects on normal pages as well?

    An screenshot of indd and idml would also help.

    Please share your OS version.

14. [ID-4257184]InDesign 2025(v20.0) Performance issues: Delay or beach balls on basic operations

    Problem: 

    InDesign Performance issues: Delay or beach balls observed on basic operations on Macintosh

    Steps to Reproduce:

    No reliable reproducible steps

    Impacted workflows:

    • Switching to InDesign
    • Open/Closing of Document
    • Edit/Scroll/Copy-paste/Highlight operation on Text
    • Text disappears, illustrations disappear
    • Imported or added text turns black until a style is applied.

    • Resize a document window, the corner flies below the screen border
    • Click or Drag of the mouse

    Workaround:

    • Close the MAGNET application
    • Revert to InDesign 19.5, No performance lag is observed.
    • Restarting the machine and trashing the preferences seems to resolve the issue temporarily
    • Disabling any font manager software seems to resolve the issue. One customer confirmed that disabling "Rightfont" resolved the issue.
    • Uninstall-Reinstall seems to resolve the issue temporarily
    • Turn off Preflight seems to resolve the issue temporarily

    Note:

    1. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC platform only. Impacted macOS (Sequoia, Sonoma, Ventura(maybe), Monterey)
    2. The issue seems to be specific to the MAC devices

    3. The issue exists for both old and new documents

    Additional information needed:

15. InDesign 2025 / v20.0: »background task« tries to activate font all the time

    Working with the font Minion Pro InDesign 2025 wants to activate the font in the background (shown in the background tasks panel) although it IS activated.

    Closing the document does not bother InDesign. It still wants to activate the font (see screenshot 2).

    Quit & Restart helps, but it should work correctly without it.

16. Layers not exporting properly to PDF (v20.0 2025)

    Before the 20.0 2025 update I had a simple ID file with multiple layers. I exported with PDF 1.5 presets, Create Acrobat Layers checked and Export Layers: All Layers chosen. All layers visible in the PDF and opens up in AI as expected, with layers.

    Since the update, same file, same presets etc. I export and all layers still visible in Acrobat, but does not open in AI properly. Instead all laters in one layer, as paths.

17. Links Not Auto Updating when Modified in InDesign 2025

    My workflow typically involves opening links from the InDesign document to edit by selecting the link from the Links panel and choosing Edit Original. In InDesign 2025, however, I've noticed that links are no longer updating whether it's a PSD or AI file and I assume other file types. This has never been the case before.

    I tried a test with a new file and placed two assets to the file. One was a PSD and the other was an AI. I then opened the links from InDesign, made an edit to each (one at a time), saved, closed, and went back to InDesign. Both links show up as modified with a warning in the preflight instead of updated.

    I thought the point of modifying links through InDesign was to avoid having to manually update all the links. I guess I'll just modify outside of InDesign and make the selection to update all on file open until this is fixed...

    My OS is Windows 10.

    Adobe InDesign 2017 (English version)
    Adobe InDesign 2025 (20.0, Traditional Chinese version)
    Steps to Reproduce the Issue

    Open Adobe InDesign and create a new document.
    Prepare a CSV file with Traditional Chinese text using UTF-8 encoding.
    Use the Data Merge feature to import the CSV file into InDesign.
    Place the merged data field into the document layout.
    Preview or finalize the merge.
    Expected Result

    The Chinese characters in the CSV file should be displayed correctly in the merged document without any distortion or encoding issues.
    Actual Result

    The Chinese characters appear as garbled text (random symbols or question marks) during the merge preview and in the final output.
    Switching to different fonts (e.g., TrueType, OpenType, or system default fonts) does not resolve the issue.
    Attempts with different encoding formats (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.) and alternative CSV/text file formats (via Google Sheets, TextEdit) also fail.
    Upgrading to Adobe InDesign 2025 (20.0) Traditional Chinese version does not fix the issue.

20. Document made in InDesign 2024 no longer loads in InDesign 2025

    InDesign 2025 (v20.0)

    is unable to open a document (a 400 page book in one single file) that I finished a few days before updating InDesign. It was made using version 19.5. I've tried several versions of the book: both the last work file and a finished packaged version on a separate drive. I have also tried opening an older version before the latest changes with no luck.

    There are no error messages. It just starts loading it and then after a while, doesn't anymore. The book doesn't appear in the Open Recent list either even after several attempts and restarts. This is on an iMac Pro 2017.

    Reverting to version 19.5 and the book opens just fine.

    Fortunately the book is already being printed. So I guess I won't get fired. :)

    Need More Info  ·  AdminPradeep Verma (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

    We would require more information for the same. Are you not able to open any InDesign document created from ID19.x version in ID20.0 or is it specifically happening with only a specific document?
